Very light, better than Resmed Comfort Gel and Swift LT. Takes a little bit to adjust properly, just like any device that has four adjustable straps. |

Aloha Nasal Pillow has allowed me to alternate with a full face mask. Outstanding comfort, lightweight and allows side sleeping. |

This nasal pillow system fits my nose and head well so that it doesn't slip during the night. It's pretty quiet but does have a strong air outflow which bothers my husband when I face him and am closer than about 12 inches. I've used this pillow only for 10 days but so far it's been nice to have a lighter and smaller mask than my old nasal mask. |

I have been using the ResMed Mirage Swift II for over 4 years now and I saw the Aloha Nasal Pillow system on your web site it looked pretty good and when I saw the price I thought I would give it a try and it's about a week and a half now I have to say it has been very good so far light and comfortable |

I have been using CPAP for over 15 years. First the improvements: Quieter and less leaks than the Swift LT. The swivel air hose allows the air hose to stay away from the face. The top Velcro strap helped prevented leaks. There are two positions on the frame for the top strap. It comes in the forward position which is most comfortable for me. Almost all of the positions of sleep were comfortable. The unused position of the headgear can be used for the bottom half of the Halo chin strap. Now the drawbacks: You need to get used to putting the headgear on. Nose in first and hold it with one hand. Back strap next with the other hand over the back of the head. You can then attach the hose to the hose on the CPAP machine. Lastly put the tubing up to the Velcro holder at the top off the mask. Avoid going out of order. You must become proficient in putting it on or you will be frustrated. Getting it off is by flipping the back strap up towards the crown of the head. Second drawback: the Velcro hose guide for the top strap that holds the tubing is flimsy. It can break in use. If it does, you can use the hose guide from the Swift LT. You can also order the Velcro Tube Retainer for Swift LT for $4 which is less flimsy than the Aloha and fits it well. Use with a Halo chin strap: The top peace of the Hallo is discarded and the Velcro of the bottom piece fits well into the frame of the Aloha Mask on either side. Getting this on is tricky. It requires that you flip the bottom of the chin strap over the front of the nasal pillows. After the back strap is in place, you can pull the chin strap down over the chin and into place. DO NOT use the top of the Halo chin strap. It will put pressure on the headgear and make the nasal pillows leak or become excessively uncomfortable. This will especially occur if it is inside the headgear. Care of the nasal pillows: The nasal pillow detaches from the swivel portion of the hose, and requires finesse the first time. After you get used to it, this comes off easily. You should wash at least every other day with mild soap and no alcohol. Most liquid soaps contain alcohol. Cheapest Aloha Headgear is $84.95 and cheapest Halo chin strap is $16.50 (plus $3 shipping if by itself). Ask and the price will be matched. |
